Interfacing – Advanced Setup
Introduction
The base-station provides several interface options allowing connection to third party
equipment.
1. Digital Trigger Input
2. Serial Port*
3. WiFi Network*
*NOTE
The serial port and Wifi interfaces are only
available on the WiFi version of the base-station
Digital Trigger Input
The base-station includes a low-voltage trigger input which may be used to trigger
the lighting. It can be useful for interfacing to an external sensor such as a light
beam across a drive-way , PIR motion sensor or even an alarm panel so the lighting
is triggered with the alarm.
The trigger input is rated maximum 5Volts, so a relay is usually required as shown
below;
